Happy Friday!
It was SO great to see so many Knights dressed up in Canada colours and Canada gear! Go Canada Go!

This morning we completed our Math assessment, worked on our math art projects and tackled the "Rectangle question" one more time. We also tried our hand at solving different Math equations that involved pictures (such as fruit, dinosaurs and insects) instead of numbers. We also had a visit from Mme Page, one of our division's numeracy specialists, who challenged us with different mental math questions at the end of class! Our Math brains were working HARD this morning!

In Français, we took some time to read and in Science we had our last work period for our
arthropod research activity.

We worked hard and wrapped up different tasks this week and are now ready to move on to new learning adventures starting Monday!

Take some time to read and to cheer on Team Canada this weekend!
Have a good one! :)

Many Agenda items!

We are working hard to finish up the many different assignments we've been working on over the past couple of weeks. The list is lengthy, but please note that students have had plenty of class time to work on these tasks, and many have already completed the items below (see agenda items).
Please check in with your child to see how they are doing.

And, a big congratulations to both Savannah and Tommy who each found a solution to our "Rectangle Math" question. There are 2 possible solutions to the question, with one of the sums being 22.  (Hint, hint!)
(See yesterday's blog post for a question refresher).

Good luck! :)

Math Challenge

Hello friends of learning!

Today in Math we tackled one tough question!

"Frame the Cards"

Arrange ten playing cards (ace to ten) in a rectangle with three cards on two sides and four cards on two sides such that the sum of the cards on every side add up to the same total.

Working in randomized groups at the white boards we tried combination after combination of numbers to see if we could find the solution. Many of us got close, but no one was able to find the sum.

The solution for this question remain a mystery for now! Keep on working on it! 

Hints for the solution will be shared over the next couple of days before the answer is revealed on Friday! 

Good luck!

Happy Monday!

Hello 208 friends!

We had a great morning of learning today!

We started our day with Français and were happy to have Mme Galka with us!

Today, for our daily reading time, we read with our table partner.

Next, in our mini-journals, we were asked to share (write) our opinion about "Whether boys and girls should have separate classes at school." Before our writing time began, we brain-stormed sentence starters that would help us clearly structure our opinion in our writing response.

In Mathé, we continue to review different mental math strategies and are finishing up our work on 

"les transformations géométriques."

In Science, we used the iPads to continue our research on two different arthropods. For our research, we can choose any two arthropods we would like and then, using a list of websites given to us by Mme Careen, we need to find the answers to a set of characteristics, including : life cycle, diet, movement and habitat. We also need to include an explanation of why our chosen example is an arthropod.
